Basketball: Forest Lake stymies Elk boys 70-56

Riddled by turnovers, the Elk River Elks lost to Forest Lake 70-56 in the fifth-place game of the Tartan holiday tournament on Thursday.

The Elks shot 8-for-17 on 3-pointers and 6-for-6 on free shots, but committed 27 turnovers.

“Forest Lake had a 1-3-1 half-court zone and we had a terrible time attacking it,” said Elk coach Randy Klasen. “We had 27 turnovers, and our goal is (no more than) 12. It’s hard to compete with that many.”
